Paris, Apr 18 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Martí Rodríguez) Reinventing themselves, looking for new sources of income and some official aid has been the recipe for small museums in Paris to survive the 6 months they have been closed, like the rest of cultural centres, due to the government's restrictions to stop the pandemic.FOOTAGE OF MUSEUMS IN PARIS (THE MUSEUM OF OIL LAMPS-LUMIERE DE L'OEIL, MUSEE DE MINEAROLOGIE, MUSÉE DES ARTS FORAINS)SOUNDBITES OF ARA KEBAPCIOGLOU, OWNER OF THE MUSEUM LUMIÈRE D’OEIL (IN ENGLISH), AND OF DIDIER NECTOUX, DIRECTOR OF THE MUSEE DE MINEAROLOGIE (IN FRENCH).Nectoux translation:1. It's a bit of a paradox because financially, we've had less income from tickets, of course, but we've made up for it with patronage. I have been able to spend more time searching for that financing and the result for 2020 is that it has never been so good financially.2. There has been a fully public patronage agreement with the Van Cleef and Arpels Jewellery School, for which we will receive an amount of 40,000 euros per year for three years to research them. That for us is exceptional.3. (Being closed), we had to get close to the public. During the first confinement, I made a daily video about rocks and their properties. In front of my camera, with my little rocks… it was a little geology course.

Beit Sahur (West Bank), Feb 20 (EFE) - (Camera: Joan Mas) In a workshop full of Christian iconography, Palestinian Firas Hawwash continues the trade he inherited from his grandfather: carving religious figures with olive wood, a tradition of the Holy Land that artisans like him struggle to maintain after almost a year without pilgrims because of the pandemic. He has not made a profit since then, spent his savings and had to lay off almost all of his employees. Nevertheless, he is determined to persevere in this trade.
